    Hello,

    Following this post of mine I decided to delete one of my accounts that is associated with my msn, the question is whether it's possible to set the current Windows Live ID with the mail of the account I deleted?

    This will actually solve my problem because I don't mind adding my friends again.

    Regards,

    Eyal Shilony

    UPDATE: The support team let me know that it's better if the new Live ID is not yet associated with any TechNet Profile. I believe that's the case here. I'll be back with any future updates.

    Thanks!

    Click the Site Feedback link to create a ticket to switch the Live ID of two accounts. They'll talk you through it. You might need to create a new account with your old Live ID.

    What are the two accounts? Did you include that info? Could you paste the links here?

    Thanks!

    Yesterday I've deleted this Windows Live ID 'mail removed', now I want to change my current account which is 'mail removed' to 'mail removed'.

    The problem is that I cannot do that, it tells me that I already renamed my account and I know I have to wait like 6 months before I can change it again but I have too many mails and currently I'm closing them to have few rather than 20 the reason I want to make this change.

    Regards,

    Eyal Shilony

    Did you send them both of the two accounts and include the two Live ID emails for the two accounts?

    That's what they need to complete the swap.

    Thanks!

    I tried, I sent them the mails of my accounts and I didn't get any mail or anything like that.

    EDIT: This thing is quite frustrating, I mean changing name and emails should be a basic thing, changing my real address and name is a lot faster and easier than doing this. :p

    Email me your Live ID emails and the associated profile links. It's edprice at Microsoft. I'll send the request directly to our support team.

    Thanks!

    Okay. I'm going to try submitting it to our support team instead. They may need you to make an account with the Live ID that you want to switch to (thus making it a swap of the two Live IDs). I'll let you know, though.

    Thanks!
